Time Based Browsing
Time-Based Browsing allows you to quickly scan our videos grouped by original air date. Whether you're a TV junkie who remembers shows by the day of week they air, a budding media anthropologist curious to study TV's evolution across the decades, or just a user in search of timely news clips, time-based browsing is another way to easily find more videos on Hulu.

I like Plex too - my only pet peeve with it is not clearing my Hulu queue when I've watched it on Plex. Of course I can't say I've done a lot of research on trying to fix it, but it's sure annoying after a weekend of getting caught up on everything to log in to hulu just to see it's all there.

* Remembers your quality choice--saves a step (look for Preferences in your account within the Hulu UI--NOT in the Mac menu bar)

* Remote control! (Even seek-jumping, which I love in EyeTV, and on-screen keyboard for searching!)

* Click anywhere on screen to pause AND (drumroll) unpause

EDIT: I don't like it Video playback is jerky on my C2D 2.33 (whereas fullscreen in Safari at High quality is smooth). Hopefully they can improve that... without being at Adobe's mercy to make it run better. It's still only beta--worth keeping an eye on the next version.

They've got everything working well except video

If Adobe ever gets Flash working well on iPhone, then they could offer it to third-parties to use in making (as one example) a Hulu iPhone standalone app. And it wouldn't need to involve Safari or Apple at all

Just thought I'd let you know - there's an Understudy update that provides support for Hulu Desktop so I don't even have to get up to click on the app to launch it.

By the way, although the requirements are for a 2.0GHz Core Duo, it and Understudy run nicely on my 1.6GHz Mini. I used it for 90 minutes last night (I watched the Sliders pilot ... I'd never actually seen it) No jerkiness or crashes so far.

I was really hoping I would like this application. But on my G5 iMac (2.0 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM) the video framerate is so low that it's unwatchable. Hulu through Safari works reasonably well (I know I have an "older" computer so I don't expect perfection) so I was quite surprised at how jumpy this was. Plus the UI isn't that great if you don't have a scroll wheel (I'm back to the original mouse that came with my iMac until I get around to buying another replacement).

Today's new version is much jerkier even than the previous one! Very smooth when shrunk to the corner, but quite bad in fullscreen. (I do like the easy self-updating though.)

My friend tried on a MacBook Pro (non-unibody), and it's jerky there too.

Watch the same clip in a browser and in the app and you may see the same issue (but it's REALLY obvious now, even compared to yesterday's version). FWIW, I have an NVidia GPU. I forget what GPU is in the MBP I tried.
